On another post you commented on the "single" use of the nylon insert
nuts and this may be correct if you are using the common cheap Home-
Depot made in China hardware. *I have found that aircraft grade nylon

cycles. *I wouldn't recommend them for more than that though.
I'm the OP and I would think a Harbor Freight trailer is even more
cheaply made than most of Home Depot stuff. *And on the box the
trailer came in, it says Made in China.
I hope my axle doesn't fall off!!
They also say no more than 55 MPH. *Can I take that to mean no more
than 60?
If it trails properly, you can probably push it a little beyond the 55
mph. It will probably do better when loaded than empty. An empty
trailer can easily start to wag back and forth or start a serious
bounce. I had that happen with an auto hauler trailer once (doing
less than 55) and it ripped the ball off the hitch. (Thank heaven for
a good safety chain.)
PS: Not everything made in China is crap. I bought a tile saw made
in China from Harbor Freight a couple of years ago and it has been a
great buy.
